Switzerland approves Moderna vaccine for children 6-11 years old

The US pharmaceutical company Moderna said yesterday that Switzerland’s pharmaceutical regulator Swissmedic has approved the use of its COVID-19 vaccine to vaccinate children between the ages of 6-11.

Swiss health authorities recommend expanding vaccination against COVID-19 for children of this age. Vaccination is especially beneficial for children with underlying medical conditions, helping to reduce the risk of severe complications from COVID-19.

According to statistics, up to now, about 6% of children aged 5-11 in Switzerland have received 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Before Switzerland, many countries around the world, including EU member states, the UK, the US, Australia and Vietnam, have also approved the use of Moderna’s vaccine to vaccinate children aged 6-11 years old. .
